Completion Date: July 2012 | Project Budget: $50,017,157

The Media & Learning Center is the second LEED Platinum building at De Anza after the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies. Key features include a buoyancy-driven air circulation system that uses chilled and heated water located in the air intake shafts and under the floors to circulate air, and louvers in the atrium to exhaust the air; a design that minimizes electricity consumption by using daylight from the central skylight and southern and northern windows, and controls to dim or turn off lights next to windows during the day; heat absorption tubes to provide heated water to the building's air circulation and hot water systems and to heat the hydronic piping in the atrium floor during cooler weather; and roof-top photovoltaics for power generation to offset purchased PG&E power.
